Horizon of Hyperzion



Mr. Obama’s dilemma is that no speech, however eloquent, can disentangle U.S.-Muslim relations from the treacherous terrain of current events in places such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran and the Middle East.

As you see, Mr. Bones, former USA Secretary of War M. K. Albright has excluded Iraq and Iran and Afghanistan and Pakistan from her private mental Middle East, although admitting them to be part of some large unchristened zone inside which human events are currently treacherous.

That hunk of mystery meat and terror terrain would probably correspond pretty well to the vulgar or dhimmí notion of the M.E. (minus the Palestine Puzzle).

Meanwhile, back in the holy Homeland™, this far-fetched long-time fellow-traveler with the militant extremist Republican Party may be about ready to become a card-carryin’ neocomradess:

Democracy’s advantage is that it contains the means for its own correction through public accountability and discussion. It also offers a non-violent alternative for the forces of change, whether those forces are progressive OR CONSERVATIVE

That sounds enough like ordinary meanin’less boilerplate that it may actually be ordinary meanin’less boilerplate, but on the other hand, what has ‘progressive’ ever done for Her Excellency?

And Father Zeus knows best about SECWAR M. K. Albright!

Happy days.
